Summary

There is now broad scientific consensus that anthropogenic climate change is occurring, and will continue for the foreseeable future. For those prepared to see and acknowledge it, evidence of climate change is all around us. Such evidence is particularly overwhelming in the Arctic region, where the continuous thinning and receding sea-ice in the Arctic Ocean stands out as especially clear-cut evidence. Ample proof of human-induced climate change also exists in the domain of marine capture fisheries, for instance, with sightings of new species arriving from lower latitudes while ‘traditional’ fish species leave for higher latitudes.
